How To Kickflip on a Fingerboard: Beginner's Guide to Landing the Trick 

IMPORTANT! For those who have tried everything and its still not working, I figured out a small detail I haven't heard in any tutorial and it totally fixed things for me. I've been trying to kickflip for 2 months and every time what would happen is the board goes vertical, spins too much, and does a half varial. Always wrong. But I realized it was because I was trying to do the "finger slide" movement from the exact moment I popped the board, without waiting. But what REALLY works is if you first pop the board neutrally, just like an ollie, then when you're at the top of the arc, slide your hand down and off the board diagonally to the left, like you've kind of apathetically given up on the ollie. It helps to angle your hand forward and down at this angle /, while the board is at this angle \, so your index finger is the only thing in contact with the board. When you do it like this, waiting until the top of the pop before initiating the kickflip slide, it evens the board out and you have a perfect kickflip! I'm so stoked haha so I hope this helps someone else who is having the same problem.

You are the tony hawk of fingerboarding

I WILL learn to Ollie on a fingerboard! Week two and still trying on all my breaks at work. One busted two good ones. But dang. It's hard. I won't give up Jack.

Jack's tutorial always helps me more over other people's tutorials, it's just so easy to understand and replicate what he's doing in the video.

If you cant kickflip don't be discouraged! It took me 7 months to learn to kickflip on a fingerboard!!!

Absolute 🐐

i havent nothing against the youtubers but the comments have been the most help out of everything with helping me to lean how to kickflip. Im know theres no point to me saying this but for thoses who are struggling look through the comments and you will find help just trust me.

I love quick tutorial vids like this. Looking forward to see more

A tip for those using a regular Techdeck. The wheels have no grip so make sure the surface is not too slick or it will be harder to pop the board. Based on my own experience.

I really like this tutorial because it’s really simple, can u make a tutorial for a late kickflip please?

thank man i just do my first kick flip

Learning these atm very hard but im practicing daily alot so got ollies down to semi consistent mow flips thanks for the tips

This helped so much thank you 😊

Yup he sure is love your videos keep going

Got the rotation down and I land it a few times but sometimes my fingers have a stroke and the board goes flying

So clean! Love it man

Getting better everyday

have a question...when I slide my finger on the board uhm it does not really spin once instead it spins like 5 to 8 times so what do I do?

idol 🔥

Thx man I almost did it yayyyyy I love you😂😂😂😂😂😂

first try, ty

Jack is the best👍

OMG, thank you so much I could not find a way to kick flip always got it wrong

Is it possible to do it wirh 3 fingers?

Oh cmon... I've been practicing for 2months and after watching this only just realised I should be sliding the finger off the edge closest to me, not away from me. A few goes later and I've just sloppily landed one.

Hey jack, is you deck small??

what size deck?

It took me oneday to do a kickflip 😅

For whatever reason every time I try it turns into a 180 double kickflip and often goes vertical in the middle. Any tips? Also, way more tutorials please you explain so concisely and efficiently. Subbed

I did it😊

which fingerboard does he uses?

More vids pls

I just did it a couple of times but without really expecting it. Arggg

I can’t figure out the sliding the finger part.i feel like by time i slide my finger the board has already landed,i almost feel like my grip is too gripy but it’s only foam grip,can anyone help me better,I’ve probably watched every how to kickflip a fingerboard vid on RU-vid.

we miss u

The finger positioning u accidentally told ring finger instead of middle finger I believe

i always make the board spin like a pop shuvit for some reason.

Just because of jack im doing a kickflip the first time thanks jack😢
